John Eastman Says He Plans to Stay in the Fight, Win or Lose
Donald Trump attorney John Eastman said he plans to fight what he sees as inaccurate election results with everything I ve got even if he loses his California State Bar disciplinary trial and, potentially, his license to practice law there.
Disciplining and disbarring attorneys who take unpopular positions on behalf of their clients is a very dangerous thing, Eastman told Bloomberg Law Friday in an exclusive interview during a break from his Los Angeles trial.
A California federal judge last year found Trump, Eastman, and other Trump allies likely engaged in criminal activity after the 2020 election. The professor, the ex-president and 17 other people were indicted last month on charges of racketeering by a state prosecutor in Georgia.
Eastman has entered a plea there of not guilty.
This thing should have never been brought in the first place, Eastman said, and I continue to hope that the justice process will play out properly and I ll get exonerated.
But if this trial doesn t go his way, his legal team will, on appeal, raise objections as we determine is necessary, Eastman said, against California State Bar Court Judge Yvette Roland s frequent blocking of witness testimony she deems can only come from experts.
